In a heated City Council race, some voters were given false information encouraging them to vote for particular candidates. And as KCCI's Vanessa Peng shows us, now, their opponents are crying foul. The city of Ames is served by the mayor and six council members. Ward 4, which includes Iowa State University and Greek houses...is where the controversy began. 33:06 "I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT MY BROCHURE." 33:10 Victoria Szopinski is fighting for votes and the truth. Victoria Szopinski, 27:46 "MY POSITION HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED." 49 Szopinski is running for re- election. The Ames city council member tells us Iowa State's Greek community was told she isn't the candidate to vote for. Her opponent Chris Nelson is. Victoria Szopinski, 24:43 "SOME VERY UNFORTUNATE MISCOMMUNICATIO N."45 The new fire chief Shawn Bayouth found an oversight by previous city councils that puts Greek housing under rental housing codes... therefore, fraternity and sorority houses should be inspected as apartments. Victoria Szopinski, 25:50 "THE STUDENTS IN THE SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES LIKE TO SLEEP IN THESE LARGE COLD AIR OPEN DORMS, THAT WOULD NOT MEET OUR CODE." 59 That would mean nearly all the ISU Greek houses could be shutdown. Somehow word got out that Szopinski is not in support of an exemption for the houses...and Nelson is. victoria 25:24 "STUDENTS WERE HEARING THAT THIS WAS NOT MY POSITION TO EXEMPT THE RENTAL HOUSING CODES AND OUT OF FEAR ENCOURAGED TO VOTE FOR MY OPPONENT." 34 Josh Hill, Farmhouse Fraternity Chapter President 12:49 "THERE DEFINITELY WAS A MISCONCEPTION AT THE BEGINNING." 12:51 Nelson was a member of ISU's Farmhouse fraternity and has been campaigning at Greek houses... Chris Nelson, Ames City Council Candidate 44:38 "THAT'S NOT THE TRUTH." 49 43:33 "I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM." 35 The truth is, all candidates are on the same page..and Greek members tell us the exemption will no longer be the deciding factor. Josh Hill, Farmhouse Fraternity Chapter President13:03 "ALL CANDIDATES WE'VE HEARD FROM HAVE MADE AN OPPOSITION OF THIS STATEMENT, THEY ARE ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS EXEMPTION." 13:10 Breena Berkland , Alpha Omicron Phi Chapter President 37:13 "I DON'T THINK ANY OF THEM ARE REALLY SUPPORTING LIKE GETTING RID OF GREEK HOUSING SO IT WOULDN'T BE TOO MUCH OF AN ISSUE." 21 Szopinski tells us across the nation, most Greek houses are exempt from rental housing codes. Fire Chief Bayouth declined to go on camera.
